The compound as represented by formula I, and a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, a solvate, a crystal form, a stereoisomer, an isotopic compound, a metabolite, or a prodrug thereof disclosed in the present invention can be used for adjusting generation and the activity of PDE4 or TNF-α, so as to effectively treat cancer and inflammatory diseases.

Description

A NOVEL ISOINDOLINE DERIVATIVE, A PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITION AND USETHEREOF
Field of the invention
Provided are a novel isoindoline derivative, a pharmaceutical composition and a use
thereof.
Background of the invention
Cyclic adenosine-3', 5'-monophosphate (cAMP) plays an important role as secondary
messenger in cells. The intracellular hydrolysis of cAMP to adenosine-5'-monophosphate
(AMP) is associated with many inflammatory diseases, including but not limited to psoriasis,
allergic rhinitis, shock, hereditary allergic dermatitis, Crohn's disease, adult respiratory distress
syndrome (ARDS), eosinophilic granuloma, allergic conjunctivitis, osteoarthritis and ulcerative
colitis. Cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase (PDE) is an important factor controlling the level
of cAMP. It is known that there are 11 members in PDE family. Although PDE1, PDE2, PDE3,
PDE4 and PDE7 all use cAMP as a substrate, only PDE4 and PDE7 are highly selective for the
hydrolysis of cAMP. Therefore, PDE inhibitors, especially PDE4 inhibitors, are considered as
cAMP enhancers. Immune cells contain PDE3 and PDE4, of which PDE4 is ubiquitous in
human monocytes. Therefore, inhibition of PDE4 is the goal of therapeutic interventions in
various disease processes. Studies have shown that the administration of PDE4 inhibitors
restores memory in animal models, including those of Alzheimer's disease. PDE4 has been
shown to be the major regulator of circular AMP in airway smooth muscle and inflammatory
cells. PDE4 inhibitors can be used to treat various diseases, including allergic and
inflammatory diseases, diabetes, central nervous system diseases, pain and so on.
Tumor necrosis factor-a (TNF-a) is a kind of proinflammatory cytokine, which plays an
important role in immune homeostasis, inflammation, and host defense. TNF-a has been
proved to be one of the major mediators of inflammation. Uncontrolled activity of TNF-a or
overproduction of TNF-a is associated with the pathology of various diseases, including but
not limited to cancers and inflammatory diseases. The dysregulation of TNF-a can also lead to
autoimmune diseases, toxic shock syndrome, cachexia, arthritis, psoriasis, HIV infection and
AIDS, nervous system diseases and central nervous system diseases, sepsis, congestive heart failure, transplant rejection and virus infections. Thus, reducing the level of TNF-a, or regulating the activity of TNF-a is a promising strategy in treating many immunological, inflammatory and malignant diseases (e.g., cancers and inflammation).
Thus, compounds capable of inhibiting PDE4 and/or TNF-a can treat a variety of diseases.
For example, Apremilast is a small molecule PDE4 inhibitor and immunomodulator that inhibits
PDE4 and TNF-a, and was approved by FDA for the treatment of psoriatic arthritis and plaque
psoriasis. However, Apremilast has central nervous system side effects and gastrointestinal side
effects such as headache, nausea and vomiting and gastric secretion. Therefore, it is clinically
urgent to continue looking for performance-optimized PDE4 inhibitors.

Deuterium (D or 2H) is a stable non-radioactive isotope of hydrogen, its atomic weight is
2.0144. Hydrogen exists in the form of an isotopic mixture of H (hydrogen or protium), D (2H
or deuterium) and T (3H or tritium) in natural, where the deuterium abundance is 0.0156%.
According to the common technical knowledge in the field, of all the compounds whose
structures contain natural hydrogen atoms, the hydrogen atom actually represents a mixture of
H, D and T. Therefore, if a compound contains a deuterium whose abundance greater than its
natural abundance 0.0156% at any position, these compounds should be considered to be
non-natural or deuterium enriched, and thus these compounds are novel compared with its
non-enriched analogues.
In the invention, "deuterium enriched" compound refers to a compound of formula I, or
the pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, polymorph, co-crystal, stereoisomer, isotopic
compound, metabolite or prodrug thereof, where the deuterium abundance is greater than its
natural abundance at any relevant position. Therefore, in the "deuterium enriched" compound,
the deuterium abundance at any of the relevant positions is likely between more than 0.0156%
and 100%. The deuterium enriched position is represented by D, whereas the non-deuterium
enriched position is represented by H. According to the common technical knowledge in the
field, the symbol H may be elided at the non-deuterium enriched position. An example of a
process for preparing a deuterium enriched compound is replacing the hydrogen with the
deuterium, or employing deuterium-enriched starting material to synthesize the compound.
In the invention, the percentage of the deuterium in the enriched deuterium or the
deuterium abundance refers to molar percentage.
In the invention, non-deuterium enriched refers to the hydrogen in natural, which is in the
form of a mixture of isotopes H (hydrogen or protium), D (2H or deuterium) and T (3H or
tritium).
Each preferred conditions aforementioned can be combined in any way without departing from the common knowledge in the art and thereby forming various preferred embodiments of the invention. The reagents and starting materials used herein are all commercially available.
The positive effects of the invention are that the compound of formula I can regulate the generation and/or activity of PDE4 and/or TNF-a so as to effectively treat cancer and inflammatory diseases. In addition, the compound of the invention has lower toxicity and good safety.
